Lottie Lynn

We gladly publish the following com
pliment given Miss Lottie Lynn in the
Minneapolis Evening Spectator of re-
cent date
Miss Lottie Lynn, the "song bird of
the pines," whose wonderful voice has
created such a decided sensation in
Northern Wisconsin during the past
few months, has been put under Prof.
Morse's tutelage. The little girl is but
10 years of age, with 8 voice as clear
and strong as a wild birds from her
native forest. She has been self taught,
save such help as her parents with their
limited musical education could give,
until within few months, when Prof.
Zenier and others becoming interested
in the little prodigy, interested them
selves to assist in bringing her out and
securing the proper training necessary
to develop her remarkable gift. We
bespeak for the little songstress warm
welcome in Minneapolis.

Henry Ward Beecher.

The life work of the famous Brooklyn
preacher is ended. The end came so
suddenly that it is literal of him to say
she died in the harness" Last week,
in the full vigor of his nature and ex-
perienced manhood, he was in the
midst of hard work for the worlds
sake. Next week the world will almost
have ceased to talk even about his fun
eral. It isaquick ending which earnest,
dutv-doing men and women who dread
the gradual weakening of vital forces,
and the approaching helplessness of old
age, may properly envy and desire for
themselves.
Beecher's public and professional
record is not devoid of stain and blem-
ish But granting the full truth Of the
worst that has been publicly alleged
against him (which the WISCONSIN is far
from doing still the record Of his life as
a whole, is one which the best men of
his generation might envy. He has
served his time well, and his years have
been full of usefulness, helpfulness and
goodness to many men.
Whence came all his wonderful pow
er to interest and influence men and
win their affection? lie was rarely
gifted as an orator, but no admiration
for his eloquence would have moved
many thousand men and women, as was
the case yesterday, to throng the streets
in the vicinity of his home waiting
solemnly and tearfully for intelligence
from the death chamber. Beecher's
strength was chiefly, almost solely, in
his large humanity. He deemed every
man his brother. He recognized in
every person in distress Of body, or
mind, or conscience, claimant upon
his ministry In the words of DR.. Tai
madge, uttered yesterday, he was the
friend Of the millionaire, of the work
ingman, of the friendless of all men
rich or poor"
After his eloquence, his weakness of
character, his few lapses from the high
est Christian manhood are all forgotten,
Beecher viii yet be grately remembered
for this large and tender and approach
able humanity. Herein was the lever
with which he signally worked upon
mems lives.-[ Evening Wisconsin.

General Logan's Second Book.

Gen. Logan at the time of his death
had completed his second book, 'The
Volunteer Soldier of America" and it
was ready for the printer. So soon as it
was generally known that 1T was III eX-
1stance, publishers from all parts of the
country wrote to Mrs. Logan making
offers for its publication. Not few
called in person and used their best
influence to get the work into which it
was understood that the dead hero had
put so much thought and strength and
affection. 1t was his last and best til
butte to the one interest he loved most
the volunteer soldier. From Philadel-
phia, New Y ork and Chicago came pub
and pleading for the opportunity to sell
the book of the hour Mrs. Logan,
eager and anxious to do the best thing
for the books future, talked with her
friends and compared the offers OF the
various publishers. 1t transpires that
an enterprlsIng Chicago publisher, Mr..
+. s. Peale, has secured. the prize, and
has given to Mrs. Logan the same terms
Gen. Grant received for his Memoirs.
MIR. Peale Is of the firm of r. S. Peale
u Co., of Wabash avenue; he is a
young man of push and sagacity, and
his triumph over the best known pub
fishers IN the United States is matter
of congatulation to the Chicago public.
Mrs. Logan favored his offer because
she preferred the book should be pub
hshed in Chicago, and also from the fact
that Mr.. Reale controlsVthe largest sub
scription organization in the country.
The work is destined to have a notable
fame. 1t is history of military educa-
ton in this country, exhaustive and
remarkable. General Logan has reared
his lasting monument in this effort for
the beloved volunteer soldier. 1t will
raise the prestige of the citizen soldier
to the higher plane where Gen. Logan
always insisted his pedestal should be.
1t is to be Illustrated in the full sense of
that term, and will contain many picto-
rial "reminiscences of historic battle
fields. Mrs. Logan's interests are we'll
cared for III the contract. She receives
two-thirds of the profits of the book, and
will be fully protected in every respect.
The manuscript gives every evidence OF
the most careful preparation, and ii
would seem that General Logan must
have had some knowledge of the fact
that he was doing his last service for the
soldier when he wrote this wonderful
story of valor and fortitude and
herois,n.

Greenback Labor Committee,


For the benefit of the readers OF the
REPORTER WHO'S belief lies with the
National Greenbacl party we give the
address sent out after the National Con-
vention was over, issued by the National
committee, as follows:
BROTHERS 4 great Industrial con-
vention representing thirty three states
and territories has Just closed its SEES
sions In this city 5lt,was composed of
representatives of the various labor or
CARNATIONS, together with delegates
from our own party, and has given to
the country platform Of principles, and
asked all those who endorsed them to
unite and organize a,great Union Labor
party.
This spontaneous gathering was har-
monious and adopted the cardinal
principles for Which we have so long
struggled, and presented most excel
lent platform generally.
Our people have long sought a union
such as this conference has arranged,
and as we believe the Union Labor
party can with sur aid press these issues
to an early triumph, and as the general
distress is such that every effort must
be put forth Immediately TO secure re-
lief, we deem it our duty to urge ali our
people to aid with that zeal for which
they are famous this new organization

Slandering the Dead.

We trust that many whose eyes may
rest on these lines have not. heard and
will not hear the seandalouS report put
in circulation by some evil minded per
son or persons about late DIR. Spencer
Ide. These reports are entirely with
out foundation, and slurs evidently
sought to cast upon his good name will
90 for naught Had he lived to vindi-
cate himself, we might never have
mentioned the reports in these columns.
But he has passed from our midst; he
is not here to defend himself, therefore
we think it our duty to defend him and
to brand as false the scurrilOus state
ment of his having been injured in any
way, or that he had any difficulty with
anyone whatever. The very nature of
the disease of which he died, necessitat-
ed the attention of several attendants,
all of whom, together with the attend
ing physicians, are ready to deny under
oath the implications that he suffered
from any other cause save the direct
denial is not only due to the deceased,
but it is also due to the community,
and those whose name have been CON
nected with the scandal, that this state
ment be made, and many of our citizens
have earnestly request that it be done.

The highly interesting article on
standing pine, contributed by Mr.. A. G.
VanSchaick to the Lumberman of last
week will, no doubt, be productive of
criticism. He places the standing pine
in Michigan at 10000, 100000 feet in
Wisconsin at 20 900, 900, 900, and in Min
nesota at 10000, 900, making grand
total of ITO 900 600, 900 feet. He very
properly makes his estimates by dis
tricts giving ample opportunity to revise
the figures as thoy may see fit. Mr..
Van Schaick has never sided with the
extremist who have belived, or pretend
ed to believe, that the census figures of
1880, S4,170, 100000 feet all told for
the three states-were approximately
correct He has held to the opinion
that though those figures were by far
too small, the amount of standing pine
in the Northwest no matter how large
was not so great that the value of
stumpage should deteriorate, but on the
other hand it should advance. It can
be said to the credit Of the gentleman,
that he considers not only the present
damage for lumber, but the prospective
damage as well. This has been brought
out in all the remarks he has made in
the meeting of the Lumberman's Elk
change on that subject. Chicago Lum-
